5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, your garden planter is ready for use. Follow these guidelines for optimal plant growth.

Filling the Planter:

• Fill the planter box with a suitable potting mix or soil. The 10-inch depth provides ample space for healthy root development.
• Consider adding a layer of gravel or coarse material at the bottom before soil to enhance drainage, though the built-in drainage holes are effective.

Planting:

• Plant your desired flowers, herbs, or vegetables according to their specific spacing and depth requirements.
• For climbing plants, gently guide their tendrils onto the trellis as they grow. The trellis is designed to support vines and creeping plants.
• The top extended design allows for hanging basket plants, creating a floral waterfall effect. Ensure hanging items do not exceed the top shelf load capacity of 10 kg (22 lb).

Watering:

• Water plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. The drainage holes will help prevent overwatering.

Mobility:

• If equipped with wheels, unlock them to easily move the planter to different locations for optimal sunlight or aesthetic placement. Lock the wheels once the planter is in its desired position for stability.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your garden planter.

• Cleaning: Clean the wooden surfaces periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood finish.
• Wood Protection: Although made from durable fir wood, applying a wood sealant or outdoor-grade paint/stain annually can further protect it from weather elements and prolong its lifespan.
• Drainage: Ensure drainage holes remain clear of obstructions to prevent water accumulation.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, consider emptying the planter and storing it in a sheltered area during winter months to prevent damage from freezing and thawing cycles.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Problem: Water is not draining from the planter.
  Solution: Check if the drainage holes at the bottom are clogged with soil or debris. Clear any obstructions. Ensure the planter is on a level surface to allow proper drainage.
• Problem: The planter feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Verify that all screws and fasteners are securely tightened. If your model has wheels, ensure they are locked when the planter is stationary. Place the planter on a firm, level surface.
• Problem: Wood appears to be weathering or fading.
  Solution: This is normal for natural wood exposed to the elements. Apply a wood sealant, stain, or outdoor paint to protect the wood and restore its appearance.
• Problem: Climbing plants are not attaching to the trellis.
  Solution: Gently guide the plant's tendrils through the trellis openings and secure them loosely with soft ties until they can grip on their own.
